I hope things will improve for you soon though, i will remember you in my thoughts to the universe.

[AutumnWitchie]

Check in your phone book for small phone companies that offer just local service. Thats what we had to do.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

My bill is almost 200.00
the problem is....about 2 months ago, we got a wicked bad storm here....and it damaged the transformer at my isp's.....when the problem was fixed....the number that my dial up was supposed to dial in to....was replaced by a long distance number....needless to say I have a 200 bill for dial up. I have tried to get this issue resolved to no avail....I am stuck.
I have cox communications for both my phone and my cable...and the cable was cut off this afternoon.....so I know the phone is next

[Raven Reed]

I have only local service and use a cheap MCI card for long distance... I pay less than 3 cents a minute. That way, when I go over my limit, I just can't use it.

I am sorry your bill is so high, but maybe you can get local phone service and dial up and use a card for long distance like I do?

Ah well, I hope you are not gone long!!! :hugz:

[Valerie]

If you're using cox communications, they offer a high-speed internet connection - you weren't using them for your internet service?

[Goddess Rhiannon]

no, I was using peoplepc as a service provider.....I could not afford the dsl....I see where that got me

[~*Ginger*~]

:hugz:

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Hi Sweetie, I miss you

[Valerie]

Well, like I said, this SUCKS, as I've enjoyed reading your posts. Oh, and I love your car too. :lol: I wish there was something I could do! :(

[~*Ginger*~]

Hi Sweetie, I miss you
I know, me too...

I have the card yousent to me in one of my tote bags, so I still have your addy.
Thinking of ya, maybe one day I'll write, not making promises, but open to suprises!
(meaning when I get a chance, I'll write, ok)

[halfwaynowhere]

i'll write!!! I hope this whole thing gets straightened out soon!

[Raidenmaru]

no, I was using peoplepc as a service provider.....I could not afford the dsl....I see where that got me

I'll miss your presence (despite my extended absence from the forums, I still remember your posts).

Now, if DSL is even availible in your area, your ward is large enough to have a local dialup number. Try to ask for another number that is local, if one is not availible, email and I can share one of my Earthlink logins (they don't really mind).

For calling long-distance, which I rarely do, I use a H.323/SIP VoIP-to-PSTN gateway provider. This means Skype for cheapo international calls to Asia and free calls to friends, with Vonage for long-distance, Montreal, BC, etc.

Try posting from the library or something? I'm looking at this from a different perspective though, $200 isn't too much to pay for Internet for me, I don't what what I'd do without connectivity (No, I do NOT have an offline social life)...

[Strega Del Vento]

:hugz:

I'm so sorry to hear Hon. You wanna know what our biggest bill was? Heh.. It might make you feel better. Hubby lost his job last Summer, so the bills piled up and we didn't pay the phone for about oh.. 2 months or 5. Our bill was a whopping $785 (feel better yet? hahaha)! We were able to get them to put us on a payment plan though and paid it off just recently. I think it was $45 a month, plus whatever the new bills were. That's Verizon though. Cox is totally different and will not negotiate. We had them at one time: The whole package of phone, cable and internet. We got tired of losing cable whenever there was a light sprinkling of rain, or the wind blew 2 miles an hour. So, we cancelled them and have been living without cable for about 2 years now. Cox is pure evil though. I'm so glad they have Roadrunner in Memphis, because we definitely wouldn't go through Cox again.

If you wanna shoot me your addy, I'll write to you too! My little "arteest" Delia can even draw some of her masterpieces to cheer you up.

[Xander67]

if you need to get an email out, you can always go to the library, they have public computers and it doesnt cost anything to use...

[redlady]

Hey.GR......when I lived in RI they had a consumer advocate thing on channel 10-Turn to 10 they called it........try to see if they can intervene for you, to at least see if a payment plan can be worked out so you can at least keep the phone-you should'nt be without a phone :nuhuh:

[Strega Del Vento]

Turn To 10 is awesome, and they do get major results!

GR's in RI too? I'm all confused now.. Heh

[redlady]

Yes, she's in Woooooon............socket! ( side by each to North Attleboro,I thinks)

[Goddess Rhiannon]

yeah, I am in poon socket....lol
the only problem is my cable has been turned off...and I can't view anything....at least I still have the phone....at least for right this second

[Linx]

Is this it?

[Strega Del Vento]

Awww, I wish I'd have known you were so close (Poooonsocket! heh)! I could've popped over and met you before we left! We're booked solid til Thursday when we're finally out of here. I'm in West Warwick, about 20 minutes away.

Take good care of yourself though it will get better, and like I said you can PM me with your addy and we can write and stuff.

(Yep, Linx, that's the place)

[WynterWynd]

:hugz: I'll write ya:)

You should contact them for payments or something, you really shouldn't be without a phone:(

[creekwatcher]

So sorry GR 'bout your luck. :fphone The all mighty utility companies have no sympathy though. Ya got to pay to stay. :money: I don't know your situation but, I'll send some positive energy your way. Maybe it won't be to long till you'll be back postin again. :smoochypo Blessed Be.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

After arguing with the phone/cable company....they have decided to allow me to have intenet service until April 8th. They will restore my cable until then as well. I need to pay the balance by that date...to keep my service.

[ravenmyst]

grad to see you are holding out, I know exactly what you are dealing with, I got so stressed I couldnt breathe till caught up, what little stregth I have I send to you

[Goddess Rhiannon]

thank you sweetie

[DragonsChest]

yay! you get to stay! :hugz:

[WynterWynd]

Are you going to be albe to pay it by then? :hrmm:

[Goddess Rhiannon]

To be honest, I don't think so
I am getting a little closer though

[WynterWynd]

Cox can be pretty nice to you...but if you get one of their a-hole reps:shaker:

Good Luck!!:)
